A City in Pink.

We are astonished and highly
pleased with a view of an entire CITY
IN pink-the oldest and at the same
time one of the most pleasing sights
imaginable. In front of Us was a per-
fectly smooth street 40 feet wide and
two miles long, running straight away
to a gate at the other end, and bor-
dered on each side by many-cOlored
palaces and dwellings, with columns
and towers, some with and some with
out balconies, but all of a delicate
rose-red color, relieved here and there
with figures or strips of white. Never
had | seen anything of the kind before,
and the effect was certainly beautiful.
Well does Jeypore deserve its appella-
ton of The Beautiful City of India" F."
When the background was formed of
the fortified hills about the town this
color was a light red, but when only
the clear blue sky was in the back
ground it became a delicate pink, Civ
ing one the impression of a pink coral
city just rising from the sea.-India

Persian BARRIERS.

In Persia the barber shaves the
heads of his customers, dyes their
boards, pulls their teeth. cups and
bleeds them when ailing, sets their
broken bones, and shampoos their
bodies. DR.. Willis, an English ply
slclan, who resided in Persia for many
years, being attached to the overland
telegraph, was invited by Hassan, his
barber, to visit his shop aud see him
work. He went, against the remon-
stance Of his servant. Malek, who in-
sisted that the barber would say that
the English physician had called to
learn OF him how to practice surgel y
and medicine.
The shop was a little square room
with one side open to the street. In
the center was a tiny bed of flowers
sunk IN the floor, from tie middle of
which rose an octagonal stone column
yard high. The capital of the col
umn formed receptacle for the water
in which the barber dipped his hand
as he shaved his customers scalp; in
Persia they do not lather.
On the earthen platform, outside of
the shop, sat burly man, whose long
beard was being dyed an orange
color. 1t was full of yellow mud (the
henna in paste), and bound mp with
cabbage leaves to prevent too rapid
evaporation.
The shop was very clean. On two
recesses were displayed four vases
filled with flowers, and the implements
OF the barbers art, scissors, razors,
lancets, hand-mirrOrs. large pincers TO
extract teeth, branding-irons to eau
terize the arteries in amputating the
limbs, strong combs; but not hair
brush, for that implement is never
used by Persians
From the BARRIERS girdle hung a
round copper water-bOttle, his strap,
and pouch to hold his instruments.
In his bosom was a small mirror, the
presentation of which to his customer
is a sign that the Job is finished and
that the barber waits for his pay.
Customers came to submit their
heads to the BARRIERS hands, and to
have their paralyzed arms shampooed.
When served, they remained to smoke
and gossip.
Others called to be bled; they were
taken outside so that the blood might
flow into the gutter. One man, suffer-
ing from the toothache, was operated
upon for fifteen or twenty minutes.
After three pulls, a large piece of the
tooth came away.
"Ahr exclaimed the barber, tthat's
the piece in which the pain vast
A sufferer from rheumatism APP
peared. The barber heated a small
iron, the patient lay down, and after
invoking Mahommed and the saints
was burnt three times on the loins.
When the English physician, having
seen Ell that was to be seen, reached
home, Malek upbraided him.

The prospect for a general break up
in insurance rates and practice seems
inevitable Some of the companies are
of the opinion that during the seven
years that the present system of doing
business has been peacefully running,
there has been gradually increased ex-
penditure, until some of these expenses,
notably the percentages paid to agents,
have become too large and are burden.
Attempts to reform have begotten other
difficulties, and it is believed there will
soon be a general breakup.

A Life and Death Struggle With His

BrOther-M-Law-The Peril of His Wife.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, June 10 james b. Mol.
low, an insane patient, escaped from
State Asylum No. 20 last evening, and
made his way to his home, near Cover,
twenty miles distant, arriving there
about eleven o'clock. His wife had
retired, but her brother, Mr.. Allen, was
up. The crazy man silently entered
the rear door, struck Allen terrible
blow on the head with bar Of iron, pro-
ducng insensibility. Next he entered his
wife's bedroom and awoke her. He had a
pistol, which he presented to her head and
babe her follow. The frightened woman
obeyed and he led to the orchard He COM
manded her to take position with her
back against tree The woman complied.
The maniac drew from his pocket num-
Der of stones which he picked up on the
way, and, with revolver in his left hand,
pointed at the woman, began to polt her
with them. When she turned to run into
the house the maniac opened fire on her
with a revolver, but did not succeed in
hitting her. In the meantime Allen had
returned to consciousness, and, hear
ing the shooting, rushed to the spot
armed with Winchester rife. 1t
was very dark, and before he knew
it the maniac was " thin ten feet of him,
and began firing. Allen raised his rife and
fired, Mellow falling to the ground with a
shot through the thigh Thinking he had
fatally injured the man, Allen dropped his
rife and went to his assistance. Just as
nc was STOPPING to raise him up the manIa1
taught him about the neck, and then
snsued life and death struggle. The
great strength of the crazy man soon
overpowered Allen. and just as he was
giving up Mrs Mellow came up and
struck her husband on the back OF the
head, knocking him senseless. Soon after
the sheriff and his deputies arrived and
ironed the maniac, who is now safely
lodged in the asylum hospital.

OVER THE FALLS.
Suicide of a Visitor From Washington at
Niagara Falls by Leaping Into the

Suicide of Visitor From Washington at
Niagara Falls by Leaping Into the
Flood.
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, June 19.-About
half-past four o'clock this afternoon a
party of visitors who were viewing the
scenery from the Three Sisters Island
observed middle-aged man, apparently
bent ON sightseeing like themselves,
standing on the third bridge that con-
meets the islands. Looking back few
minutes later the man was seen to have
his coat and hat off, and was in the act
of leaping from the bridge into the water.
The party were at too great distance to
do aught but stand and witness the fatal
leap. The body sank at once and passed
over the Horseshoe Falls. fastening back
to the bridge the party found the coat and
hat, and on the bridge-railing was chalk
mark, evidently placed there by the suicide
TO mark the spot where he made the leap.
From papers in the pocket of the coat it
was\learned that the man was Il. Trigg, OF
Washington, d. G., guest at the Inter ma
tional Hotel for the past few days. The
hotel people know nothing about the man
except that he had come there few days
ago and registered as stated. The body
will probably not be found before it
reaches Lewiston, eight miles down the
river, which will not be before two or
three days have elapsed.

SPEECH-DERANGEMENT.
Three Forms OF Aphasia Caused by Par
tial Brain Paralysis.

tiaI brain Paralysis.
There are several forms speech-de-
rangement, caused by a paralysis of a
portion of the brain.-the speech CEN
tiers. They are known by the general
term aphasia, which means simply
speechlessness.
There are three forms of aphasia:
~ the sensory, in which the printed
words are clear enough to the eye, but
convey no impression to the brain; (2)
the motor, in which the patient can
read and understand the printed words,
but can not utter them, uttering in
stead unintelligible sounds; (3) the
sensory apd the motor variously mixed.
The following case illustrates the
first form. A cultivated woman, being
taken with a severe pain above the left
temple, was surprised next morning to
find herself unable to read a word,
although she plainly saw the letters
and words, and every object in her
room. The largest letters, the head
ing of the daily paper, were as I'M
recognizable as the smallest. In about
two weeks she began to recover, and
could read again with tolerable facility
in about three months. This was a
case of word blindness.
A somewhat similar case of word
deafness is reported. A well-educated
gentleman, who fully understood what
ne read, was nevertheless able to utter
only gibberish. Thus the sentence,
"The Odessa line is again working
properly he read, 1.-The assoil lens a
puff piff miss cores povety." The
second, or motor aphasia, is the more
common form. In this the person may
fully understand all that is said to him,
and yet be unable to speak or write the
word he wishes to; and even if he
seeks to express his meaning by ges-
lures, he makes the wrong movements.
In the mixed forms, the patient, in
some cases, can not speak the words,
and yet can write them; in others, he
can write, and yet is unable to read his
own writing. The power of speech is,
in general, however, left unimpaired.
Allied to aphasia is so-called para
phasia. In this disorder, the patient
thinking to use particular word, uses
one not having the slightest resem
blance to it. Sometimes he loses
whole class of words, most commonly
nouns, and is forced to supply their place
by description, as "what one cut
WITH" for scissors" or for"window,
what one sees through. Youth.

Norwegian Ice Exports.

The export of ice from Norway is .
growing trade. The quantity sent
abroad in 1886 was about 100000 tons,
against 22S,O00 tons in 1885. Last
years was the largest export on record
except that of 1884, which reached
100000 tons, consignments being sent
to every part of Europe. Prices were
lower last year, however, than they
had been for many years past; and, ac-
cording to the British Consul-General
Michell's report, the exporters can be
making no profit. There must indeed
be a loss in many cases if the interest
on capital employed and the cost of
maintaining a great number of ice
houses are taken into account. /. is
only the extreme lowness of freights
Scarcely sufficient to defray ships ex-
penses) that enables transactions in ice
TO be effected at all.-N. Y. Post.
